This article presents a discourse analysis method designed to study networked cognitive communication processes in knowledge communities, such as conceptual change, higher order learning and knowledge building. The method is grounded on genetic epistemology and integrates constructivist and socioconstructivist theoretical concepts. The sentence (understood as judgment) is chosen as the unit of analysis, and the application of the method is further explained. In addition, a study of transcripts in an asynchronous networked community of nurses illustrates the method and demonstrates how conceptual change, collaborative learning and knowledge building can be identified. Advantages and limitations of the method are also discussed.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the method of meaning implication discourse analysis can be applied in the context of online collaborative reflective practice of student teachers. The method was developed to identify knowledge building in networked contexts. It derives from the model of meaning implication developed by Piaget, and the model of “schematization” proposed by Grize. It also borrows from the knowledge building theory developed by Scardamalia and Bereiter. The method allows understanding knowledge construction as an evolving process of conceptual change and learning through argumentation. We present two studies in which online “conversations” of pre-service teachers are analyzed. Contributions for higher education are discussed.

Practice Of Teaching

Previous research has demonstrated that professional narratives reference discourses that shape the practice of information literacy within higher education. This article uses discourse analysis method to identify how information literacy discourses construct and position teaching librarians within higher education. Texts analysed include four recent English-language models of information literacy and 16 textbooks. Analysis suggests the existence of two distinct narratives related to the role, expertise and professional practice of teaching librarians. In the outward-facing narrative librarian work is typically absent from guidelines for practice. In contrast, book introductions, which constitute the inward-facing narrative, centre professional librarians yet simultaneously position them as incompetent, or as lacking the skills and understandings that they need to be effective in this setting. These narratives constitute a form of othering that threatens professional practice at a time when the professionalisation of librarianship is being drawn into question. This article represents the second in a research programme that interrogates the epistemological premises and discourses of information literacy within higher education.

The study tool was developed in a list representing the contents of contemporary professional education. It consisted of three) fields: agricultural, industrial, commercial; (16) Guaranteed. The content analysis method has been used where the wholesale and semi-sentence and unit of analysis have been taken, down to the quantitative data of the duplicates and percentages. The results revealed The following: The agricultural field got 43.0%, the commercial field got 33.5%, while the industrial field got 23.4%, and this confirms that the books did not take into consideration the contents of contemporary professional education and the principle of sequence, and did not adopt a clear methodology, but rather a traditional, random curve in dealing with the contents of the study. The study recommended the following: Reviewing the content of the books of Social and national education developed for the basic intermediate stage in Jordan including the contents of contemporary professional education, and the extent to which they respect the principles of integration and sequence and the principles of self-learning and structural in addressing them.
